So, I have a job this summer in Charlottesville. Well, two actually.
I'm an apprentice under a local potter. Her name is Trew Bennett. Words cannot express the joy that I have working with her. She has a huge studio, gas kiln, and anagama kiln, worked with traditional Japanese potters, part of the Smithsonian Guild of Artisans, etc. It is amazing. I am in the process of learning how to coil build and throw to make giant pieces on the wheel. I'm working on three urns right now that hopefully will be over 3 feet tall.
I'm also working at a plant nursery this summer three days a week and will hopefully make enough to survive on in Charlottesv
